BackgroundFor vendor-derived mice, an acclimation period of 1 week is usually recommended before blood pressure measurements are started. However, we observed hypertension in wild-type vendor-derived mice 1 week after shipping.MethodsThe index group (n = 12, BALB/c, age 3 months, weight 26-28 g)...

Introduction: Hypertension has been increasingly linked with oxidative stress, and melatonin has been found to have significant antioxidant properties. The effect of melatonin on the development of hypertension however remains unclear. Objective: To examine the effects of melatonin...

Prenatal stress or glucocorticoid administration has persisting "programming" effects on offspring in rodents and other model species. Multiple doses of glucocorticoids are in widespread use in obstetric practice. To examine the clinical relevance of glucocorticoid programming, we gave 50, 120,...

Glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, have been used as in vitro inducers of adipogenesis. However, the roles of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in adipogenesis have not been well characterized yet. Here, we show that inhibition of GR activity using the GR antagonist RU486 prevents human...

Dopamine is important in the pathogenesis of hypertension because of abnormalities in receptor-mediated regulation of renal sodium transport. Dopamine receptors are classified into D1-like (D1, D5) and D2-like (D2, D3, D4) subtypes, all of which are expressed in the kidney. Mice deficient in...

We characterized the systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 10-week-old males from 15 inbred mouse strains and found that blood pressures among strains were continuously distributed and that strain C3H/HeJ had the lowest mean systolic and diastolic pressure (100.5 � 3.2 and 66.8 � 3.5...

High dietary salt-caused hypertension is associated with increasing reactive oxygen species generation and reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1), a specific receptor for capsaicin, is proposed to be involved in Dahl salt-sensitive...
